Essential Cookware for Every Kitchen
No matter your skill level, quality cookware is a necessity for great meals. Ace carries brands like Lodge, Presto and Cuisinart, with quality items across a range of products.
Pressure Cookers
Pressure cookers use high pressure and temperatures to cook food quickly. Be sure to read the owner’s manual carefully before preparing your meals to ensure safe operation. Once you know how to use your pressure cooker, you can prepare your favorite dishes in less time, with tender and savory results. Some pressure cookers double up as canners.
Pressure Canners
Similar to pressure cookers, pressure canners use water, pressure and heat to quickly cook and seal meats, fruits and vegetables in their canning jars. Stainless steel pressure canners are durable, easy to clean and can be used on standard and smooth stove surfaces.
Dutch Ovens
Perfect for stews, roasts, bread, cobblers and more, a quality Dutch oven can elevate your cooking experience. Use it in the oven, on the stovetop or even over delicious meals that can be seared, baked, roasted or grilled.
Frying Pans
Available in copper, aluminum and ceramic coated designs, a quality frying pan can reduce cleanup time and deliver delicious results. Find frying pans with PFOA and PTFE free models, non-stick designs and high-heat resistance. Fry pans can be dishwasher safe, but some may require handwashing for optimal results.
Boiling Pots
Boiling pots are great for cooking foods like seafood, meats and vegetables. Their heavy-duty reinforced handles allow you to confidently transport large meals off the stovetop for all to enjoy.
Cast Iron Skillet
Deeper than a frying pan, a cast iron skillet pan offers the same advantages but with added heat retention and cooking versatility. Endlessly versatile, electric skillets are also available, perfect for cooking roasts, stews, fries and other dishes for one person or more.
Ace also stocks saucepans, popcorn poppers and a range of cookware sets, helping you build your kitchen cookware faster than one piece at a time.
Is Ceramic Cookware Safe?
Yes, ceramic cookware is generally safe and non-toxic. Check to see if your ceramic pots and pans are free from PFOA, PTFE, and cadmium. It is best to avoid overheating your cookware, or using metal utensils that can damage the coating and affect safety.
Aluminum, Glass and Stainless-Steel Cookware
What’s more, aluminum, glass and stainless steel are all generally safe to cook with, too. Glass is non-toxic, while stainless steel is non-reactive and handles high temperatures well. Look for anodized aluminum and avoid cooking acidic foods on uncoated aluminum cookware.
Cooking Gadgets and Replacement Parts
Supplement your cookware with cooking supplies like roasting racks, reusable cooking bags, aluminum foil, slow-cook liners and more. Over time, even the best-designed Dutch ovens, cast iron pans, pressure cookers and more will need repairing. Find sealing rings, pot knobs, pressure cooker gaskets and more.
